Drilldown report with Office Integration

Hi everyone,
can anyone help me to understand how to display a report with Office Integration (on monitor) so that you can see the header?
Thanks,
Jess.

Office Integration is available with Report Painter reports. The first thing that you need to do is make sure the "Expert Mode" is selected. Once the report is executed select Settings > Options. In this pop up box you will see the List Output section and the Office Integration section. We have all the boxes in the List Output section checked.
You may also want to check your Text for Export. When you're in transaction GRR2 (Change mode of the Report Painter report), follow this menu path: Extras > Report Text > Text for Export. If you don't have anything here that is why your not getting any header information when you use Office Integration. You can select Text > Copy from and copy the actual header information into the text for export.
I hope this helps!

Publishing Reports with BO Integration Kit for SAP

Post Author: Daniel Stoerzinger
CA Forum: General
I have the BO Integration Kit for SAP installed locally and have been able to publish the reports to the Enterprise Server. I'm also able to Open Reports from the SAP tab. However, I've created a lot of "test" reports which I no longer want to see in the list of reports. I've removed the reports from BO CMC but the Open Reports tab (SAP) still displays the ones I've removed from CMC. Where is this list stored? Are the report definitions stored within SAP? I've heard that the report definition is stored in SAP and the physical report is saved to the BO Enterprise Server. But no one within our SAP team has any idea and claim these are stored on the BO server.
(Someone tell me I'm not the only one in the universe trying to use Crystal Reports with SAP)

XL Reporter with Office 7

Hello,
I have question about XL Reporter. Is it working with Office 2007? Because I've installed XL Reporter for SBO SP01 PL10 and I get an error message about the version of Office?
Thank you,
Irina

Hi Irina,
Patch 29 of XL Reporter for SBO 2005A SP1 will work with Office 2007. Earlier patches won't and the builtin XL Reporter for SBO 2007A doesn't yet work with Office 2007 either (though I'm hoping this will be fixed shortly).
Kind Regards,

Drilldown report in Crystal

Hi,
I need to produce such drilldown reports with Crystal against an Oracle database
First Look of the report
Sales report for the country
North   $250
South $100
East    $300
West   $150
Total    $800
I need to Drill on details for one of the items
Sales report for the country
North   $250
AA     $100
AB     $100
AC     $ 50
South $100
East    $300
West   $150
Total    $800
Is it doable with Crystal, if so I would like to know how it can be possible without using a stored procedure in Oracle.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat
Edited by: Venkat Ramamurthy on Apr 23, 2009 12:47 AM

First you need to create a group on country in the report and place the details in detail section. Now suppress your detail section based on the condition like this
drilldowngrouplevel=0
Now refresh the report and you can see all the countries and the total amount. When you double click on the group name country you can see the details.

Drilldown reports in Accounts Payable

I am trying to add the discount amount (BSEG-WSKTO) to the output of the S_ALR_87012078 report. The requirement is to have the age wise discount amount as an additional column. I have copied the form 0SAPDUEAN-01 (FKI4 transaction)and create a new drilldown report with it. I have even tried to create a new form. However in any case when I try to add a new element to the form, it only provides a selected list of options(or characteristics). The usual report painter reports have a library associated with them. Is there any kind of library associated with the reports created with FKI1 transaction? Is there any way to add a new characteristic with the field I need? Please let me know how I can add this new column. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Saika

It is not possible to include new field to the report by customizing, I suggest that you can develop a customize by ABAPer.

Office Integration and non-MS browsers

I have an 'issue' with Office Integration and non-MS browsers with our SharePoint 2013 on-prem enviroment (using SSO via ADFS).
Background: our internal client wants to move to SharePoint sites for collaboration with external partners. One of the selling points they're wanting to make to justify the move from their current
external collaboration site is Office integration - specifically the ability to open/edit/save documents by clicking on the document in SharePoint, having it open in Office (PC/client) for editing. Note they are wanting full integration with the client
version of Office - not OWA. The other requirement is that this work with both Firefox and Chrome.
Issue: Office integration works fine using Internet Explorer. When a user click on a document the document opens in Office and can be edited directly in the browser without any additional prompts.
But when clicking on a document via Firefox or Chrome the SSO login form pops-up when Office starts. Once the user enters their credentials they can work with the documents as desired. But our client does not want this second prompt.
Question:
Is there a way to configure SharePoint so that Firefox or Chrome open up documents for editing without a second logon prompt? I'm assuming not based on my research on how these browsers handle
cookies differently than IE. Can someone confirm?
Is there a dev solution to this? Note that because the users will be partners (non-employees) we are trying to avoid using a solution that would involve installing custom software on their pc's
(such as browser extensions).

Unfortunately you are looking at a plugin or having the users modify their browsers:

Hi all,
i need help to read an Excelsheet into an int. table.
Its the first time, that i use the SAP DOI. I copy different coding into my Report to get connection to an existing Excelsheet.

SAP Office Integration Excel 2013 problem - dummy window pops up with inplace

Hi experts all around the globe,
we are facing a strange problem by some of our users since they have installed Excel 2013 on their PCs. An annoying Excel sheet pops up while generating an excel file in the background.
They are working with several Y (or Z if you like it better so) transactions, and create multiple Excel files (Excel.Sheet.8 -> .xls) in the background. The programs are using Office Integration (interfaces I_OI_CONTAINER_CONTROL and I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY) to create the files.
Method OPEN_DOCUMENT is called with the parameter OPEN_INPLACE, modified, and then closed with the CLOSE_DOCUMENT method, then saved with SAVE_DOCUMENT_TO_URL. The document gets only assigned to a dummy container, this means under normal circumstances the user shouldn't see anything - the file gets created, modified and stored in the background - end of the story. The programs are like 10 years old, and have been doing good since then.
Now some of our users reported, that they have an issue when generating Excel files with those programs. We have investigated / debugged, and here is the thing: in several cases when the method OPEN_DOCUMENT is called, an empty worksheet pops up (see attached screenshot). It also gets in focus, and then in 1 sec is it closing again (as the CLOSE_DOCUMENT is called). This is really annoying when the user has to generate hundreds of Excel sheets (it is quite often the case). The window gets opened and closed with every single file that gets created.
We have tried to identify the problem, but it is user independent, the SAP GUI, Office and Windows versions seem to be all the same - though it appears by some users. The most of us work with SAP GUI 730 Patch level 4, but upgrade to Patch level 9 has also not solved the problem. We have found the notes 1908528 and 1804535. They address similar problems but not exactly the same. We think it has something to do with incompatibility of the releases, or simply an Office / SAP setting we could not think of.
Has someone encountered the same? Any ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Boldi

Hello Daniel,
thank you very much for your reply, it is really appreciated.
We have SAP GUI 7.30 Version 7300.3.9.1084 Build 1496147 Patch Level 9 on the test machine. This one should be the latest available version, am I right?
The issue is a little bit different from the ones described in the SAP notes you suggested. The data is getting "correctly" displayed inplace, but Excel is also getting called up in the same time, and an additional emtpy sheet is displayed, which gets in the focus, disturbing the user. It is just like described in the SAP notes 1425448 and 1567380
To 1425448 (Solution Point 2 below): this is our standard setting, and it does not help us.
To 1567380 (Prerequisites): there is no macro in our sheet.
We could reproduce the issue with the standard report SAPRDEMO_SPREADSHEET_INTERFACE (this is the one suggested in SAP note 1908528 - "Verifying that Excel inplace functionality is working correctly"). The SAP GUI overtakes the focus after a while, as described in the SAP note 1567380, but the empty sheet is active at first, and it is a little bit more than annoying.
How is it on your side, could you please run the standard report (EXCEL, checkbox for inplace set, then Enter) to confirm that the problem exists?
Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day!

Report generation toolkit problem with office 2000 and office XP

Hello, I am having a problem with running my vi after it is compiled with application builder. The dev machine is an XP box and the targer is windows 2000. I included _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi and _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from the office 2000 section of the install cd (for the report toolkit) in the compile but did not include those files for XP. When I run the application on the target machine (2000), the reporting functions call Excel just fine and the program does not come up with any errors. The program however, is not loading the approprate template and inserting the approprate data. Did I leave some neccessary files out of the compile? Thanks in advance!

Hi Acer,
The recommended procedure in your case is to install Microsoft Office 2000 on the development machine and then reinstall the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit. When the toolkit is installed, it will check for the current version of Office and install the corresponding VIs to support it. The VIs include different ActiveX calls according to the version of Office. Therefore it is not enough to change the support manually without having the correct version of Office installed first.
However, I would recommend that you just try to run your executable on a machine that has Office 2000 installed. The difference in the ActiveX API for Office XP and 2000 is not that significant, so your application might work perfectly on an Office 2000 machine. If you try to run the executable on a machine with Office 97 installed I'm willing to bet my right arm that you will experience errors.
Good luck Acer!

Issue with Office 365 integration module

I have an issue with the Office 365 integration module on one of my customer's Windows Server 2012 Essentials servers.
Recently they switched to a new Office 365 plan, but the integration module still thinks the customer is on the old plan. This doesn't seem to affect functionality at all, so I think it's just cosmetic. On the Office 365 tab of the Windows Server Essentials
dashboard, under Subscription it lists the old plan and says the subscription has expired. Under Licenses it says "your subscription includes 0 licenses" and "0 licenses are assigned to user accounts."
Steps I've tried to resolve this issue:
Created a new Office 365 test user account (after switching plans) and then on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials dashboard clicked 'Change the Office 365 administrator account.' This made no difference.
Uninstalled and then reinstalled the Office 365 integration module. Again, this made no difference.
I suspected there might be an issue in the Office 365 back-end, where the customer's Office 365 account was somehow still associated with the old plan, but they said that wasn't the case.
I opened a service request with Office 365 support about the issue with the server dashboard, but this was their response: "As we are online service support team, we provide limited support on local application extension...you may need to contact the
Windows Server support team for further help."
As it seems to be just a cosmetic issue, I'm not going to open a paid service request with the Windows Server support team, but I'm interested to know if anyone on the forum has struck this issue before or has any suggestions.

Not seen this issue myself, you may be right in that it Is just a cosmetic issue, and I would be surprised if a fix was forthcoming even if you opened a case (or we opened a case for you) due to resources having shifted to the Windows 10.
You could grab the OIM logs from programdata\windowsserver\logs and we can see if there is anything obvious in there.

Integrating Tableau server report with SharePoint

Hi
The requirement is to have Tebleau server report to be integrated with SharePoint. We can integrate the report using a page viewer web part but in the web part it asks for log in credentials, also Tableau server is installed on a different server with local
authentication mechanism. What I want is the report be available to all the domain users on SharePoint available on a different server. I see an option - to use Secure store service but then it requires the authentication mechanism to be changed in Tableau
server by uninstalling it first and then install it again (which we consider is not feasible) so that using the secure store credentials the report automatically logs in and shows the report to all the authenticated SharePoint users.
How can we implement the auto log in feature for Tableau report in the page viewer web part so that the report is available already (Secure Store) and the SharePoint logged in user does not have to go and log in.
Any pointers or suggestions to accomplish this using any other method also would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Crystal report 8.5 export to csv and rtf format not working with office 2013

Hi Experts,
Crystal report version 8.5 hangs and eventually crash when i export my report to csv or rtf format on windows 7 with office 2013 installed, code is written in VB 6 although the same scenario is working with office 2010 installed.
i debugged the code and found the application hangs at function Report.Export(False).
below is the code snippet
       .PDFExportAllPages = True 'ePDFExportAllPages
       .PDFFirstPageNumber = ePDFFirstPageNumber
       .PDFLastPageNumber = ePDFLastPageNumber
       .RTFExportAllPages = True 'eRTFExportAllPages
       .RTFFirstPageNumber = eRTFFirstPageNumber
       .RTFLastPageNumber = eRTFLastPageNumber
       .UseReportDateFormat = eUseReportDateFormat
       .UseReportNumberFormat = eUseReportNumberFormat
       .UseReportNumberFormat = eUseReportNumberFormat
       .XMLAllowMultipleFiles = eXMLAllowMultipleFiles
       .XMLFileName = eXMLFileName
     Report.Export (False) ----Application hangs here and eventually crash
Looking forward for your help, as it is very urgent

Hi Mohit
CR 8.5, being about 15 years old, does not support Windows 7. I am surprised this works for you with MS Office 2010 and to be honest, I'd consider my self lucky there. The fact that is does not work with office 2013... well, like I said, lucky with Office 2010 and your luck ran out with Office 2013.
Your option; rewrite the app in VS 2010 / 2012 / 2013 and use the CR Assemblies for VS .NET from SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET. The CR Java SDK would be another option.

Integrating mod_plsql reports with Oracle Apps. A maddening dilemma.

I'm hoping there is some guru out there that has the perfect solution to this maddening dilemma I'm facing.
The crux of the issue is this.
I've created mod_plsql reports that can accept a session_id with which they can set a user context based on global application contexts set in Oracle applications by users as they log in.
At this juncture, I have not figured out a way to call those mod_plsql reports from Oracle apps using a variable session_id as defined for the user when they logged into apps.
My client want to be able to log into Oracle apps and then go to the mod_plsql reports from the Oracle Apps menu and maintain the user session, so that the mod_plsql reports are run using VPD to constrain access to the data they are displaying to that specific user.
The client does not have Single Sign On installed nor OID.
I had hoped to pass a variable parameter session_id from the defined menu function that would call the mod_plsql url, but I don't see any way to pass a variable there and am becoming convinced that doing so is not an option. Can anyone confirm this?
An alternate option I'm considering that seems like it would work is to create a JSP page that gets called from a menu function. In that JSP page, I would retrieve the session_id set in apps based on the context for the user_id that I could retrieve from fnd_global.user_id and assemble a URL with the session_id that the page would then re-route to the mod_plsql page.
Unfortunately, I'm not versed in JSP.
How hard would it be to create the sort of page that I'm talking about?
Would the JSP need to part of OAF?
Can anyone think of any other options that would take care of the issue I'm dealing with?
Thanks.
Kurt
